Steve's birthday

Ethan and I made minion cupcakes for Steve's birthday. Ethan is really into the Despicable Me movies lately. He loved the bad minion cupcakes (the purple ones) and wasn't so crazy about the good minions (the twinkies) because they had no frosting. Surprise.

 


We had cupcakes and ribs for lunch and then after rest time, Ethan and I went to a friends house to play and let daddy have the night off to do whatever he wanted to do. I think we all had a blast :)


Ethan couldn't get enough of the cars. Might have to look into finding one of these for him.

Steve and I took a couple of nights away to celebrate our 10th anniversary. Theses are the only pictures I got of our weekend. We had a lot of relaxing fun.

Fishing with daddy!


Our park had a party one night and Ethan went with a friend. They got their faces painted, hair colored, and got to go in a fire truck and police car. It was a serious fun :)

So many of our mornings are spent at the beach. We seriously could just live there, Ethan never wants to leave.


Lots of snappers in our lake
